These are the images of the soon to be released new Ibelux 40mm f/0.85 (yes 0.85!) and Ibecat 12mm f/2.8 lenses. They will be available for Sony E-mount (among Fuji X and others). The images are from “Zetton” a reader that visited the CP+ show in Yokohama (Thanks Zetton!).

The Ibelux will be released next month and costs $2,000. The Ibecat costs $600 but the final release date is unknown. The full press text of these lenses have been posted in December on SAR (Click here to read them).

Tamron’s financial report contains a hint about two future new DSLR lenses. A Wide anlge zoo and a new standard zoom (link found via Photorumors).

Optyczne found that image of the new Tokina AT-X PRO 24-70mm f/2.8 SD.

All new Tamron and Tokina lenses will likely be made for A-mount too.

The Australian CameraPro is the first worldwide store that gives us a clue about the price of the new Sigma 50mm f/1,4 ART lens. The lens is priced at $1,499 AUSD. USing the current conversion this is about 1000 Euro or $1350. Of course prices in US are expected to be much lower. That’s quite a good price considered that Sigma aimed to match the quality of the 4 times more expensive Zeiss Otus lens! Now let’s hope reviews will come out soon to tell us if Sigma really achieved fulfilled the task.

DC.watch (translation here) posted that cool image of the [shoplink 24632 ebay]Horseman[/shoplink] “Axella” and “VCC PRO“. You can shoot in a real “large format” style with your Sony A7-A7r! If you shoot large format you can use this to compose your images. Pretty handy!

The “Axella” costs 600,000 Yen (around $5,900) and is fully equipped for tilting, swivel, rise/fall and swing. The “VVC PRO” can tilt only but costs much less, around 150,000 Yen (around $1,400).

P.S.: It may come to a surprise for you but I am still a large format shooter. I hope I can try this one day :)

Thank You all!

There is also a Silver version of the A6000. But the weird thing you can see from these pictures is that the Silver of the camera actually doesn’t match the Silver of the lenses. It’s more of a goldish-bage silver than real silver.

RX1 vs Leica M by Elio Marchi on Flickr: I compared some shots taken with my RX1 and a Leica Monochrom used during an event in my town. The file I converted my RX1 with lightroom B / W without altering any parameter. I was struck by the difference in yield to 6400 and what the difference really unexpected sharpness of the two lenses 35mm.
Amazing the result of RX1! If we also compare the price difference, I do not know how to justify the fact. I do not see any benefit of a sesore B / W, it is also not possible to use color filters during the development of Lightroom RAW.
One thing that I envy Leica is the management of Auto ISO! Sony updated please!”

Scott: “I’ve written a short article about my experiences with the RX1 over the course of 2013 if you’re interested: http://www.onemorelens.com/2013/12/how-rx1-made-photographer-out-of-me.html”

Chandler: “Just a submission to Reader’s Work Roundup. Here’s a new short film I was DP, Camera Operator, and Colorist for called “Bright Eyes” (http://bit.ly/1eh3C8r). The camera we used was the Sony a65. Despite the camera’s obvious flaws in video performance, the film came out quite nice! Video: http://bit.ly/1exO4cV .”

J.Pepper: “I would like to introduce my website which I try to post something new daily. I primarily use a Sony RX1, Fujifilm X-E1 and the latest addition, the Sony a7R. I only have adapted lenses a Zeiss C Sonnar f/1.5 50mm and a Zeiss Planar f/1.4 85mm. I would some fellow SAR readers may be interested in shots taken with this combo.
